Tell HN: Razorpay a YC company shared donor data under a Section 91 order

Razorpay is an Indian payment platform[1].

Recently Indian police arrested[2] the co-founder of a fact-checking website for a tweet he did in 2018. There are reports that Government is trying to nab him for reporting the fake news and religious hatred the current regime has been peddling.

Police demanded the data of the donors to the fact-checking website from Razorpay and they complied without a court order[3].
